Youth controllers to earn diploma
By Jeffrey Tylicki
Staff Writer
The university’s Delinquincy Control Institute, which was recently rated as the top juvenile justice training program in the country by a respected law enforcement publication, will graduate its 76th class Friday evening.
Forty men and women from California. Arizona, Colorado, Maine, Minnesota and Oregon law enforcement agencies will join the ranks of over 2,500 others who have participated in the program since its inception in 1946. Graduates of the institute have been from all 50 states and at least 40 foreign countries, said Robert Barry, assistant director of the Delinquincy Control Institute.
In August of 1982 Police Chief, a magazine for professionals in the law enforcement field, listed the DCI as the best program in a profile of the top 10 training programs in the country. The article reported that many of the institute’s graduates have become leaders in improving the nation’s juvenile justice system. More than than 250 have become chiefs of police or sheriffs of individual departments, the report said. The Police Chief article also said that the DCI is certified by the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training.
Dr. Donald Fuller, director of the DCI since 1978, said the teaching faculty in the program is very competent in the law' enforcement field. “We have attorneys, psychologists, police doctors, social workers, and more in the program,” he said. "And they all have first hand experience in their subjects as well as skills in teaching.”
The program, which operates as a part of the university’s school of public administration, consists of six weeks of intense training in the juvenile justice system. Barry said that the curriculum includes a broad spectrum of knowledge in various fields. These include police administration, law, criminology, education, psychology, mental health, and medicine.
Barry said juvenile crimes, generally considered to cut-off at the age of 18, but varying slightly in each state, are a definite problem today. “A lot of it can be attributed to the bad economic times," he said.
Special emphasis is devoted to several of the following subjects:
— Investigation of juvenile offenders.
— Diversion
— Juvenile gangs and hard core offenders
— Child abuse and sexual exploitation
— Substance abuse (drugs, alchohol, etc.)
— Learning disabilities
Tuition for the program is S1250, and will transfer as six units of credit in the school of public administration. An additional four extra credit units are available to students.
Barry said that 80 to 90 percent of the students in the DCI program are on scholarships. “Several interested donors from the private sector, including General Mills, the auto club, and the tobacco industry, have really made some nice contributions to the institute,” he said. “And usually the agency sending the student pays for it if they can’t get a scholarship.”
Regarding the scholarships. Fuller said he believes all of the funds sent in from corporations all over the United States in support of the DCI, “show that we must be doing something right,” in the program.
The graduation ceremony will be Friday evening at the Faculty Center. Barry, a retired FBI agent, said the guest speaker for the ceremony will be Francis Mullen, director of the Drug Enforcement Administration of the U.S. Departmentof Justice. He said Mullen has served as assistant director for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and is helping Attorney General Bell with a merge of the DEA into the FBI.
Grammy awards to use parking lot
Students who pay $69 each semester to use the Hebrew Union parking lot may find it difficult to find a space tonight because of a university plan to sell any open spaces to those attending the Grammy Awards ceremony at the Shrine Auditorium.
A source who wished to remain anonymous said that the university will, for a fee, allow Shrine customers to use any space in the lot which is available at the time.
“If I were you,” the source said, “I wouldn't move my car Wednesday. There might not be a spot for you when you come back.”
Carl Levredge, director of security and parking operations, said that “if we were to use any of the parking spaces, permit holders would come first.”
However, Levredge said, there is no definite plan for using the Hebrew Union lot, but if “by stroke of luck,” there appears to be unused spaces, “we will use them.”
The university has “done in the past,” Levredge said “and there were no major problems.”
Students who live in Troy and Troy East apartments as well as other students who live in the area rely on the large Hebrew Union lot for parking space.

By Douglas Lytle
Staff Writer
The administration is maintaining a secretive and non-commital tone this wreek as to who will succeed John Robinson as senior vice president of university relations, an office that is responsible for a large part of the university’s financing.
A statement issued by President James Zumberge to members of the university community the day after Robinson’s resignation last Monday, stated that Zumberge will temporarily assume the official responsibilities of the senior vice president for university relations.
However. George Abdo, executive assistant to the president, declined to say how Zumberge wrill be going about finding a replacement for Robinson, who accepted an offer by the Los Angeles Rams Monday to become head coach.
“Dr. Zumberge is still considering the options beyond his statement.” Abdo said, and added that “the president hasn’t decided on anything yet.”
When asked what options Zumberge will have in the selection of another vice president, Abdo said “I’m not at liberty to discuss the options.”
Robinson assumed the post last December after he wras selected by a university search committee composed of top-ranking administrators and faculty members.
Abdo added that because Zumberge will be “temporarily” assuming Robinson’s duties, “he (Zumberge) will be looking for someone in the future.”
Abdo declined to say how long it will be until Zumberge makes a choice as to a successor.
The senior vice president for university relations is responsible for the major portion of fund raising at the university.
Donations made to the university this year through the office of university relations are expected to exceed $40 million, said James Appleton, vice president of development.
Shortly before his resignation, Robinson reorganized various sections within the department and divided the office of university relations into two divisions, the office of public affairs and the office of public information
Martha Harris, the newly appointed director of public information and public relations, said that

Dr. Jack Kevorkian expresses his view that death row inmates can contribute to medical research after they are "dinically dead," at a discussion held Tuesday.
Doctor's view of death row: good medical research
By Annette Haddad
Assistant City Editor
Prisoners on death row' should have the option of deciding by which method they w'ish to be killed, and in the interest of medical research, death by anesthesia is the most humane way. a doctor of pathology and author said Tuesday.
“There is only one way we are ever going to understand a criminal’s brain,” said Dr. Jack Kevorkian during a speech-tumed-discussion in Hancock Auditorium. “We may get the key to changing criminal behavior...{with a) controlled study on a body that must be destroyed by law,” he said.
Kevorkian spoke on the topic “Medical Research and the Death Penalty,” which is also the title of his new book.
Kevorkien said that the ability to perform medical research
on “clinically dead” humans could provide major breakthroughs in the field of medicine. “What we could get from experiments cannot be obtained under any other circumstances.” he said.
Kevorkian became interested in this idea after doing research for an article on the history of autopsy. He said it was quite prevalent 2.000 years ago in ancient Greek and Egyptian societies.
“The death penalty — that's your problem. That’s an inso-luable problem,” said Kevorkian. “My idea comes in after (the legality) of the death penalty has been decided. This goes beyond death,” he said.
Kevorkian's proposal stirred the emotions of the tiny audience that had come to hear his speech. Instead of giving a formal dissertation from a podium on the stage, he met the
students in the audience and encouraged questions.
Kevorkian said he has aroused the medical and legal communities with his unique approach to death of condemned criminals. He said that many debtors, politicians and professors .“fuse to listen to him. regardless of their stand on the death pet.alty.
“Everyone complicates it because of emotions.” he said. “You should hear the dumb emotional arguments I get from Nobel Prize winners. No one can say I'm wrong.
“People think this is the age of enlightenment, it’s really not. People can t talk about w'hat’s not accepted. Doctors are stupid — they don't think (and) politicians are frightened,” Kevorkian said.
